Doggie found in Florida (Roodepoort) last night...

[HapticSimian]

Folks, I know this is a long, long shot... but the wife came home to this lil' chap huddled against our gate last night:



He stands about 30cm tall at the shoulder and I reckon he's somewhere between 18 months and 2 years old.

He was hit by a car, likely in 9th Avenue. His left front leg's broken but he's at the vet being seen to at the moment. Now I know he's just a pavement special but, in spite of probably being in agony, he was as content as could be expected during the night, and he seems well fed & healthy. Someone, somewhere probably cares a great deal for him.

If you hear of anyone in the area having lost a dog matching this one in the last few days, please drop me a PM.

Fanks.

I both love and hate threads like this at the same time. Great stuff taking him in.

If you can't find the original owner then you're going to keep him, right? Right?

[Devill]

Very nice of you to take the dog in

Awww cute doggie

Depending on the vet's bill I might keep him regardless...

Good on ya. He looks right at home there...

Sadly there have been quite a few dogs hit in that area of late (I am in 8th ave) People are really driving like maniacs, and particularly when they are staring right into the winter sun down the avenues

Good Luck with finding a home for him.

Cute mutt. And he does look well looked after. So odds are somebody is desperately looking for him.

You are a good human!!

Well worth it in the long run. I cannot ride by a stray without doing something. Picked up two of my dogs like that. The one husky was roaming the freeway and had billary - cost R10k to get him sorted and he was the best dog on the face of this planet until late last year when he passed away. At one stage I had 8 dogs - luckily I had a decent sized property...

If you see a 6'4" white bloke with a McDonalds cup in hand at the intersection of Hendrik Potgieter and Gordon next week toss R5 my way, will ya?
